CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) STATE GIVES UP ASSET IN COULTER ‘The purchasing power of the industrial workers of the country is the greatest asset the farmers have. If the former are prosperously employed, the vast home market consumption of merchandise is reflected in the increased sale of the products of the soil, to the consequent ad- vantage of the tiller. Heretofore the tariff has mainly contributed indirect benefits to the farmer through the ability of prosperous industry to purchase freely of his produce. Lately, the idea of a direct benefit through imposition of higher du- ties on farm products themselves has been developed into practical policy. It is featured in the clastic tariff pro- visions which both President Coolidge and President Hoo- ver have invoked as means for protecting the home mar- ket for the agriculturists of the’nation. The apostle of a tariff for the farmer that is placed di- rectly on his products is Dr. John Lee Coulter, who through years of directing the destinies of the state's agricultural college has been a figure of tremendous good to North Dakota and has endeared himself to the state by his work in the big school. ‘The severance of the ties that have bound Dr. Coulter to the college is a matter of no small moment to the ed- ucational destinies of North Dakota. The state is losing @ great constructive force when it loses him. He can be illy spared in the vast task of molding the agriculture of this state. For this at present continues to be a special type of agriculture, due to climatic conditions and the lack of big industries or large population in a country formerly open range and better adapted to livestock than it is in peculiar seasons to grain growing. It is not good to hand this work over to new hands. It thrives more steadily when it is conducted by the continuous process of veteran hands. Dr. Coulter had become such a veteran. Then, too, the college had becn turning out a splendid body of professional students in various arts and sciences, in addition to its prominent activities in behalf of the new agriculture. ‘The agricultural interests of the state, seeking consola- tion of some sort, find balm in the fact that Dr. Coulter is becoming chief economist of the tariff commission. It is believed that in that capacity he can apply his ener- gies and services to the advantage of the Northwest's farmers in another form than schooling the generations ef North Dakotans in the principles and methods of carrying on the paramount activity of the state with trained brains. ‘That may be. Dr. Coulter is an authority on the needs of the Northwestern farmers. ‘They gave a dinner to the doctor over in Fargo the other night, at which this opinion was expressed, but with it went another sentiment that probably was nearer the real feeling of those who participated in the social honors of the evening. It was the hope that Dr. Coulter might soon come back to the college again. His friends felt as though they were lending him to the federal government, rather than giving him outright to the tariff commission. That sentiment must be widely spread through North Dakota, Dr. Coulter can work out helpful tariff sched- ules to the benefit of the farmer in a few brief years, but the call for his splendid abilities as an educator is a mat- ter of a lifetime. Such men cannot remain at the helm of great works too long. By all means, let Dr. Coulter get the rest he told his hosts he wanted after years of strenuous administration in carrying forward the progress and usefulness of the college. Then let him come back and team again with the men who are building the splendid empire of North Dakota. The latchstring should be left hanging out, that he may soon find his way back into the place where he ts needed most and where he can serve the state best—as he has been doing. FACING THE FUTURE ‘The education of former times was principally a mat- ter of preparing a man for the present by teaching him the past, and, therefore, each gencration was recognizably the heir and descendant of those that preceded it. But the tremendous increase in knowledge during the last half century led first to the necessity for selection end later to the discovery that such selection would inevitably guide the future into one course or another. It was proved by experience that education can mold ®@ nation or a race just as surely as an individual can train himself for one profession or another. The world, which had once been content with the haphazard conse- so-called fair sex. When one garment wears out, he buys another to replace it. A coat is a coat, and pants are pants, but the outer garb of woman is not so simple as all that. Then, too, men is irrational. In the coolness of his home he often goes about in his shirt sleeves, and sometimes collarless and sans tie. But to go out into the warm street and engage in walking in the hot sun, he puts on a coat, and envelopes his neck in two or three thicknesses of cloth, often stiff, starched cloth. Still, our German professor suggests a dubious remedy. Short trousers, bare legs and arms, no collar are his rec- ommendations for “all but the coldest weather.” The world is ugly enough as it is; and the bare masculine leg and neck would merely add to its lack of beauty by their scrawny unsightliness. As for the coat, a man must have pockets. That is a fundamental which even a pro- fessor ought not to overlook. We can't go around carry- ing a pipe, a can of tobacco and a box of matches in our hands, as woman carries her necessities. STANDARDS The thoughts of men have struggled through centuries of difficulty to frecdom from traditional autocracics, grim superstitions and ignorant fears. These tyrants laid heavy hands on human progress, but {rem some of them we are now delivered, and to that extent have taken into our own hands the shaping of our destinies. But there is no great gain without some loss, and our new-found freedom has Its penalties. We are on our way, but we are far from certain where we are going. The passing of the overlordship of ancient error has pe>mit- ted the multiplication of new prophets and theories and codes, whose name is Legion and whose consequence is confusion. * Standards we must have if we are to live at peace or make war intelligently, and the substitution of countless individual codes for the simple arrogence of old autocracy is not the proper fruit of progress. Frecdom frém error should make the way clear for Truth, whose laws are ab- solute, eternal and of universal application. When the divided loyalties of the world rally to such a standard and serve it with even a fraction of the energy that is now spent on inconsequence, deliverance will be complete and the land of premise at hand. ‘The treasury official who says an author's royalties are not earned income has simply never sat up until 4 a. m. nursing the characters in his new novel through some crisis, “I've seen feilows cut a deck of cards,” said the Old Timer, “and settle issues more important than how many cruisers somebody ought to have in an air age.” After wondering thousands of years how to fix their hair, women finally decided to cut it off. Perhaps the farmer could take the tons of advice he is receiving and use it for fertilizer. It is only natural that father should worry about son. Father was a son himself, once. Animal instinct isn't so impressive when you know the men some dogs associate with. No one can put a hat on your head and make it feel as if you put it there yourself. ‘The hobby-horse most people ride drinks gasoline. The most expensive thing about a home is carelessness. Editorial Comment BLERIOT’S CHANNEL FLIGHT (New York Times) Comte de 1a Vaulx was probably right when he said: “July 25, 1909, will be a historic date a century hence.” Louis Bleriot, 37 years old and very lame in one foot, had crossed the English Chennel in an airplane of 25 horse- power. Its wing spread was twenty-four feet. The start was made from Baraques, near Calais, so early in the morning that Dover was asleep when Bieriot arrived. He was received by two Frenchmen waving the tri-color, a fisherman, and two or three British soldiers. Eighteen years later there was a meeting in Paris between Charles A. Lindbergh and Louis Bleriot. “I shall always regard you as my master,” said the young man. “Ah, but you, my son,” replied Bleriot, “you are the prophet of a new era when flying will be as common as motor steamship traffic is today.” It was what went before the crossing of the chan- nel that made the achievement of Bleriot so remarkable. Hardly any one took the flying machine seriously. Bleriot himself was both inventor and pilot. In 1900 he had con- structed a plane with flapping wings, which everybody laughed at. The Wright brothers later gave him the right idea, and he produced a machine that would fly, but not very far. In July, 1908, he remained in the air for eight minutes, although a gale was blowing. The fol- lowing June he broke the durationsrecord by a flight of 18 minutes and 30 seconds, and made new records of 36 minutes and 55 seconds and of 50 minutes and eight sec- onds. He was then ready to try the channel. In his simple story of the adventure he said: The flight continued for about ten minutes with nothing in sight but sea and sky. It was the most anxious part of the flight, as I had no cer- tainty that my direction was correct, but I kept my motor working at full speed and hopcd that I should reach Dover. He was a pioneer and his flying machine was very crude. One who saw him preparing to go up at Baraques said that Bleriot hopped about the plane on his uninjured foot and, getting into the cockpit, exclaimed: “If I can't walk, I'll show them that I can fly!” Bleriot had a stout heart. Of one kind and another he had received fifty in- juries as a pilot. When the great morning dawned “he was like a maimed bird, but he carried his shoulders square and his head erect and gave his orders alertly.” Bleriot made Dover in thirty-eight minutes, flying at about 250 feet above the water. On the English side strong winds whirled his little plane about, and in land- ing his chassis was smashed and his motor bent. His success moved a London newspaper to say that “the aero- Plane is not a toy but a possible instrument of warfare, which must be taken into account by soldiers and states- men.” Paris on his return “went wild over him.” After- ward he flew to continental capitals, and at Constanti- quences of an education that looked chiefly backward, ‘was brought face to face with a definite responsibility to the future. ‘We now know so much about training men that we need. to know definitely what we are to train them for. We need to determine surely what is worth while and what is important, since our notions on these matters will prove either a blessing or & burden to the genera- tions that follow us. If we are content today with con- fusion of purpose and ideals, our children will pay the comes @ new responsibility to the future, since we know ‘Deyond peradventure that its destiny lies largely in our ENOUGH UGLINESS nople broke three ribs in landing on a roof. “Developments that have taken place since I first flew the channel,” said Louis Bleriot three years ago, “have far outstripped anything I then contemplated.” It amused him to think of the tiny plane in which he had faith enough to make the flight. In an article written for The Times recently he predicted: Radio compasses, wircless, beams of Hertzian waves and meteorology will create @ sure path Ss, Che ,DAY.. The city of Toledo, O.. is caring through one of its child welfare agen- cies for a small baby whose parents refuse to care for it. The mother in- sisted on leaving the child in the hos- pital where it was born, seeing it not more than once. Her explanation was that, nearing middle age, she was entitled to respite from child caring; that she had raised several children; that she and her husband had planned a peaceful old age, and that she refused once more to dedicate a score of years to the care of a child. x ek WELL, WELL! There is a doughnut for thought of various kinds in the incident. Our first reaction is surprise, at “the ab- normality” of parents, a mother, es- pecially, who could thus abandon her own child. Perhaps, however, the little tale is really a tribute to the “normalcy” of life. Nature designed men and women for parenthood in their early years. A child born in the 40's is more un- natural than natural. Perhaps the reaction of the Toledo mother is equally natural. On the other hand, since nature's main job is to get the child cared for lin their individual case, natural or unnatural, this reaction does seem queer. * * * EASY! Another little angle of the story is a wonder that parents, for a mere whim of like or dislike, can be re- lieved of the responsibilities of par- enthood. If other cities and states are as willing to relieve all unwilling Parents of their job, we will prob- ably find plenty who deviate from the so-called “normal” to put quite a burden upon the taxpayers. * * PAPA DID IT? Speaking of parenthood, here's a father, James Morgan Holt, 32, of Dayton, O., held for investigation by Police for the shooting of his eight- year-old son, Leroy Robert. The boy's mother was upstairs when she heard the shot and went down to find her son dead and her husband standing \ 4 ee _THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1929. GiNDAP!

(Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) Talks To 43, 43. Parents BIRTHDAY PRESENT (By Alice Judson Peale) Joe had saved 84 cenis for his mother's birthday present. On the evening before the event he and his father walked down-town together on their big shopping expedition. At a “ladies’ wear” shop they turned in, and Joe, rattling his coins in his pocket, began to look about for a suf- ficiently fine gift that could be had for his savings. There were all sorts of enticing things, silk stockings and blouses and purses ang perfume. But all of them cost dollars and dollars. “Tell you what, Joe,” said his father, “you buy what you want for mother and I'll make up the difference.” “I don't want to do that. I want to buy it all with my own money, oth- erwise it wouldn't really be a birth- day present from me.” And he walked sturdily up ‘to the saleswoman. “Will you please show me what You've got that I could buy for 84 cents? I want something for my mother.” Ten minutes later he had bought a collar and cuff set for which he paid exactly 84 cents. Joe's gift was a great success, but Perhaps not even his mother realized just how fine a gift it was. It repre- sented the savings of weeks and the ability to make cheerful choice be- tween rigid limitations. It represent- ed_a sensitiveness which made him refuse to offer as a gift something which did not come wholly from him. Such qualities as these are worth cherishing. They are worth more than money in the values which they give to life. They are an insurance against the unhappiness which comes of all the subtler forms of dishonesty.

It matters not whether it is a hot sum- mer's day or a cold winter's evening. A very few people seem to have & normal temperature one degree above or below this temperature. The tem- perature rises normally soon after a heavy meal or in the afternoon. It becomes lower at night. Stimulants, such as coffee and tea, cause a slight rise, and cold food and ice water a slight lowering. When the temperature of a fever goes above 102.5 degrees it becomes destructive to the body’s tissues and should not be allowed to remain there for very long. When it goes above 105 degrees the condition is very grave. The lowest temperature occurs with freezing. It is said that the human body cannot recover if its tempera- ture becomes lower than 74.5 degrees. The temperature rarely goes as high as 110 degrees except in tetanus and in sunstroke, and recovery is not likely. The treatment for all acute fevers is very simple if begun at the first indication, whether the disease be measles, influenza, simple fever, chickenpox, German measles, tonsil- itis, etc. The first thing to do is to stop all rich food. A fever is an in- dication that the body has a surplus tient has just eaten a heavy meal, it is sometimes advisable to give an emetic and empty out the stomach so that the intestines will not be bur- dened, as they do not digest food readily during a fever. The next thing to do is to thorough- ly cleanse the lower bowels with sev- eral enemas if necessary. This is very important in any kind of fever because the bowels are being filled with toxic wastes which if not re- moved promptly may lead to serious Poisoning complications. After this the patient should go to bed without too many covers in a well ventilated room. Patients recover from fevers in a much shorter time if they receive plenty of fresh air. There is not the danger of catching cold during a fever by exposure to fresh air as some suppose. The room should be kept quiet and free from visitors. The patient may be given large quantities of water, but no food during the first day or so. After this, strained orange, grapefruit, or tomato juice may be allowed, but no solid food. The practice of giving eggs and milk and toast has undoubtedly con- tributed to the deaths of many fever patients. It the temperature is above 102.5 degrees, short cool shower or sponge baths, especially of the spine and ab- domen, should be used at intervals of one or two hours until the tempera- ture has been restored to below this point. If the temperature has not risen above this, the cold’ ablutions can be omitted unless occasionally for the relief of the patient. Do not at- tempt to entirely stop the tempera- ture, or serious consequences may re- sult. Merely keep it within reason- able bounds. As soon as the toxins have burned up or eliminated, the temperature will become normal by it- HEALTH-DIET ADVICE &! Dr Frank McCoy pate eg TE. Ml SETI Me on eemees Ne Tr ees of heating foods already.

If the patient experiences chills, it is a good plan to use artificial warmth, packing hot water bottles around the body and al- lowing only flannel bed clothing tc touch the skin until the perspiration becomes copious. The more you per- spire the quicker your fever will dis- appear as the poisons are thrown off through the eliminative organs. This treatment will prove effective in all cases of simple fevers, and you will find that it may often prevent a more serious turn to the disorder. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Effects from Constipation Question: Mrs. R. B. writes: “I am ® married woman 35 years of age. The symptoms are terrible headaches, pain all down my left side, especially below the heart, also in left arm. In the morning on arising I feel as if I had passed through a bad illness—so weak and tired I would like to stay in bed all day. Of late am troubled with constipation, for the first time in my ee with a slight attack of itching piles.” Answer: The pains in your left arm and side probably come from gas pres- sure against your heart. This would make you feel tired in the morning. ‘Try a course of enemas for a month using two enemas daily. In the mean- time, correct your diet so that it is not gas-forming, and after the month’s treatment with internal bathing I am sure your constipation will be overcome and the itching piles will disappear. Spinach Question: R. H. asks: “May one eat spinach without first cooking it? I was told that the oxalic acid in it makes it injurious. It is delicious to eat as we do lettuce.” Answer: The amount of oxalic acid spinach contains could not be consid- ered injurious to the average person. It is one of the richest in iron of the leafy vegetables, and those who have a deficiency of hemoglobin or red corpuscles in the blood should use a plentiful supply in the raw form. Mental Unrest Question: B. G. H. writes: “Though T have no ache nor pain—am in good health—I cannot control the mind, and am afraid it will lead to some- thing serious. Try to ‘throw it off’ but can only do so for a short time, and am much worried.” Answer: You require the advice of @ good psychoanalyst. Until you find one, try to get interested in construc- tive thinking and concentrate your mind on something which will be helpful to others. (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.) Be Z LAA Se LAFAYETTE HONORED One hundred and fifty-two years ago today, on July 31, 1777, congress bestowed the rank of major general upon the Marquis de Lafayette, a French general and statesman. At the first news of the American revolution, Lafayette became enthus- jastic for the cause of the colonists. Evading vigilant government officials, he fitted out @ ship and, sailing from Passages in Spain, landed on April 24, 1777, at Georgetown, 8.

On a visit to North Amer- ica in 1874, after the conclusion of peace, he was received with tremen- dous enthusiasm.
